Silly game question - myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is there ANY way that when I switch to my new mytouch 4g, I can bring over the Angry Birds saves from my current mytouch slide? I know, it's nuts but I've made it sooo far. It would be really helpful if someone knew how.

doesn't its data get saved on the sdcard?

Well, if it's there I can't find what folder the save's in.

look in /data/data/com.rovio.angrybirds or something like that. I dont have it installed.

Using astro, a search for roxio and angry came up with nothing. Still looking around, I guess until I find something.

are ya rooted? if you are grab MyBackup Root from the market, run a back up of apps+apps data, then copy the "rerware" folder from your MT3G-S sd card to your MT4G sd card, then all ya gotta do is root and download MBR to your MT4G and run restore.
edit: nice thing about MBR is you can also backup all your bookmarks, SMS/MMS, call logs and such

Hey, thanks for all the help. I finally found the rovio file but when I put it on my new phone and launched the game, it didn't recognize it at all. It just started from the first level. Can anyone explain why?
Thanks

[HELP] My phone is acting up!..

Alright well randomly when i would go to the photo album i could scroll through a few photos, then "We're Sorry..." A problem has occured with Manila.exe
I did some research and people that tried formating their SD Card, got it to work again. Well since it worked for them i decided to try it...not knowing its just going to delete everything from my SD Card...So I deleted everything from my SD Card.. now what? I take it i should do a factory reset? Will that put all the default stuff back on the SD Card, like Transformers 1 & 2?
At the moment i writing all my contacts down...but can someone please help me figure this out? I just wanna go to bed cause i got work in the morning..
The HTC HD2 is such a hassle, theres always something wrong with it.
The movies are gone. Sorry. Do a backup or copy sdcard contents to your desktop next time.
Nope. You should always back up your content that is on your SD card before you format. Its gone for good.
Well **** my lifeee. Ok would T-Mobile be able to fix this? Cause this is just getting too confusing. I hate this phonneee...also my phone isnt reading my SD Card.

Do you have it connected to the PC in "disk drive" mode? If so, your phone won't see your SD card while it's connected that way, only while it's connected via activesync.
Hmm, well yes it was lol. Is there a site or some source i can just download the default SD Card files from?

Not the movies. The games etc can be found in the sticky at the top of this section titled "Links to cabs, ROMS, how to's, & Jaime's "New to WinMo & Absolute newbie tweak guide"...in there are links with all the other stock apps from the HD2 (and a bunch of other stuff you should probably check out).
You might be able to go to a T-Mo store and see if they will swap out your sdcard with one from a return unit.
Don't give up on your hd2, it is a great phone. Everyday I find something new about my phone that makes me happy I went with it. WinMo is complicated, but once you get it set up, it runs really well.
Well im kinda stuck with this phone for 2 years. Not much I can do. So far it pisses me off alot, like when i receive a text, my phone freezes for about like 15 seconds while it loads to my phone. That and the fact its slow and it just fails as an OS.

You really need to read that new-to-winmo guide in the thread I mentioned above. In fact, here's the direct link for you:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=688928
Then go back and read everything else in that thread I pointed you to...with a little care, WM can be a wonderful OS...I wouldn't trade it for any other, personally. There's solutions for every one of the issues you've mentioned, if you'll just take the time to read and learn here at xda.
I believe there is s fix for the text lag, but I don't know where it is. I must be lucky because I don't have the text or music tab lags. I have around 500 texts with about 350 from one person and I get very little lag loading messages and I have 8 plus gb of music and the sense music player works great.
Try Cookies Home Tab or maybe one of the custom roms.
Okay well I still cant view my photos without "Manila.exe" to crash. Should I just restore my phone, or is there a fix.

Yes if it's still doing that after the card reformat, a hard-reset might be the best shot at clearing it up. Are these pics you've taken with the camera, or ones you copied to your SD card? If it's the latter, how many pics do you have on there?
Also, just fyi, you don't have to write your contacts down to save them...if you just run the myphone app that's already on your phone, it will back them up along with your text messages, and allow you to restore them to the phone after a hard-reset or a ROM flash.
Well i saved a bunch of pictures i got off google on too my phone, and thats when it started having the error. Um where is the myphone app located?
You can copy all your contacts to your sim card instead of writing them down...just saying to save you some time.

or use mobile back up.
But make sure your MicroSD isn't corrupt. Try a different MicroSD and see if it works. It might be the card reader in the phone.
Might be able to get a warranty replacement if that is the case.
Im just going to use Microsoft My Phone its easier, and i dont have to click one by one just to add contacts to my sim card. Um im sure my SD card is fine, it just has nothing on it lol. Im going to run the the T-Mobile store tomorrow and see if then can exchange the SD card for one with all the default stuff on it.
Alright well i backed up everything i needed on Microsoft My Phone. Now im just going to do the hard reset.

Once you've done that, just run the myphone app again...it will have you sign in, then it will update the app, and then it will download the contacts and messages etc back down to your phone.

Sims 3 collecter edition on EVO

Hey i just threw on that sims 3 apk from that new samsung vibrant onto the EVO. It works full speed but theres one major issue. everything in the world is black. The sims them selfs are proper u can see them wiith all there colors and textures. Would anyone have an idea to make this work? I know its made for that other phone but i read that they got this to run perfectly on other phones.
I think the compatibility with snapdragon processors is a no go. No Sims on the Evo
thats to bad if only the textures on the world would show. its runs great. I am shocked there only releasing it for that phone.
most likely the textures are stored somewhere else, not in the apk. kinda like how the gameloft games download data to the SD card.
Problem is you'll need someone with the phone to extract and upload them all. I can't even find the sims 3 apk to test on my nexus.

Doesn't work on the Slide either. I think it's a bad rip.
I doubt there'd be textures stored somewhere else if the apk was 72 MB.
The old 12 MB version works fine. Hopefully it can get cleared up soon.
EDIT: Found something. Prob can't post the website because they host the files.
1. Go into your phones settings (or where ever your rom has the apps to sd option) and turn on Apps to Sd. Make sure you check external under Install Location (if you have lithium mod).
2. Go into your file manager app and install the big file first. It should be titled “01 TeeEssThree.apk”. Hit done. Do not open the app yet!
3. Go back to your apps to sd settings, this time putting the option on automatic , or turning it off apps to sd completely…either or.
4. Go back into your file manager and install the second file. It should be titled “Sims3_Samsung_Embed_Launcher.apk”. After it installs close out of your file manager.
ALL DONE! Your game should be ready to play!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FFKtbZOtSPs&feature=player_embedded Here's a vid of it working on DX
EDIT again: Method didn't work for me. Maybe you guys can try it
EDIT: Oh my crap didn't realize how old this thread was. Sorry. I was just googling around trying to find how to install it.

[Q] HTC Desire HD - Angry Birds - restore after phone reset do defaults

Hi
Yesterday I have reset my DHD to factory settings (menu->settings->SD card->personal data->reset to factory settings).
Before that I have made a full copy of my sd card as well as I've copied the file "pkg.apk" from "Mnt/asec/com.rovio.angrybirds-2/"
The Angry Birds were already copied to sd card.
I've installed them again but I can't get back to my saved progress in that game. Where is it stored? Can I get it back anyhow?
P.S. My wife was already on the 12th level or sth. She will kill me once she finds out that I've messed it up, so your help will be highly appreciated
Unless l'm mistaken, I think you've lost your data. Its stored on the phone in the folder data.
To get at it, I used VISIONary+ to temproot the phone, then Titanium backup to backup the data to the sd card. Once reset, and Angry Birds installed, play a level. Then run Visionary+ again, and restore backup from sd card.
Sorry!

You Sir, are correct. If you look in the market you can download a "Cheat" app to enable all the levels.
i"m still alive
OK. Thanks for your replies.
Luckily I've managed to get over the anger of my wife - she started playing again
The new festive Angry Birds is also free on the market. Keeps my wife quiet for a while!

Well...
have a look in the market, angry birds seasons is out: it gives special themed levels, for halloween and for Christmas. The Christmas one is like a calendar: you can only play one level a day
That should make her even more happy

Move all my nexus one data/information to nexus s

Hello
I am receiving my nexus s tomorrow and I have one question?
Without SD card, how do I move all the things like music, apps and other stuff from the N1 to the NS?
I suppose I can't use the mybackup app...
Any help please...
Thanks

The Nexus S will mount USB storage to your laptop the exact same way that the Nexus 1 does.
You can plug both into USB, mount the storage, then drag and drop what's on your external SD card that you want to copy over from the N1 to the NS. Quick and easy. It's what I did with my NS; and allowed me to hand pick what I wanted to transfer over rather than bring along all the clutter and garbage from my SD card that was left behind from old programs I don't use any more.
Apps and settings are just showing up for some people because of the sync restore option with Google server if you enable it on both devices. Didn't for me, though.
appbrain is a good way to get all your apps over, but it won't get your settings and app data.
If you're N1 is rooted and you're happy rooting the NS then titanium backup is a quick and easy way to move over your apps whilst retaining all the user data. (Rooting both phones is cake and can be fully reversed)
In addition, something like sms backup and restore works nicely for SMS messages.
Any other settings will have to be re-applied manually but contacts etc will sync down no problems.
If you're not rooted then your new apps should sync back from market anyway (you may need to ensure data backup is checked on your N1 - can't remember)
As the chap above mentioned though, the NS internal storage mounts as a USB mass storage device anyway so music/any other data can be copied over easily.
I did it via TITANIUM BACKUP
1 click of a button and everything was there
the only thing i had to copy & paste manually were the MP3 and Videos
having both phones connected via USB (through a PC)
just drag and drop the stuff from one phone to another phone
I did this drag and paste but for some things did not work. For music and pictures it worked well but for an example I have Color Note which I was able to drag over. Color Note is an application that allows you to take notes. After dragging and pasting it I went into my Nexus S and was unable to find Color Note. I also was unable to find Astro. I bought Astro Pro and downloaded that as well. After downloading it I was unable to find Astro Pro on my Nexus S In Market it tells me it is installed and it does so under applications as well when I go to settings and then applications but I can not find it nor open it
for Apps/Games & settings you need to use backup software like Titanium Backup

Titanium's great if rooted. I would be cautious with Titanium, though. Make sure to only restore APPS data/settings. Not sure you want to be restoring SYSTEM settings from one device to another, let alone one version of Android or another. I've seen people report issues restoring settings from just one ROM version to another.
As long as he doesn't restore EVERYTHING then it is safe
just make sure to select ONLY
Restore User Apps & Data
Thanks for your help
Hello to all!!!
Many thanks for your help..
I've already receive the phone and transfered all the stuff
first impressions.....
It's an amazing phone....fast fast and even more faster that the n1....
Thanks

App starts to load then goes back to home screen

I can't find this anywhere else, so here goes. I downloaded Plants vs Zombies, it worked for a while, then I ran Link2SD and move it. It starts to load, then goes right back to the desktop with no error.
I unlinked it, same issue, completely uninstalled link2sd, put a different SD card in and it does the same thing. this happened with another app, and once I moved it back to internal memory, it worked fine. Not so lucky with PvZ.
I have to assume that there is still something written in a file somewhere that is causing it, just no idea where to look.
I am running Thor 14.2 if that is any help
I also used Switch me, thinking that may help.
Any ideas are appreciated, at this point it is not so much that PvZ doesnt work, though my kids love it, it is that I would like to know why something doesnt work.
i have considered going into CWM and formatting internal memory, but that seems drastic.
Thanks in advance

Only thing i can think of is to look for a folder with the title or Developers name on it . Delete that then reinstall the game. if you are root go to system/apps and look for it there and delete ..
Other then that Post this in the Rom Developer's thread..
